Sandro and Maje

Wearing my new Sandro top

At the week end I stumbled upon two of my favourite French stores in London, Sandro and Maje. I bought a pair of great slouchy wool trousers from Maje and a navy and red sweatshirt from Sandro. It's the kind of clothes you want to wear everyday, with that little french twist that makes Paris girls just so cool. Here is a little bit more about them and some of my favourite buys on the internet.

Maje is the chic Parisian label from Moroccan-born designer Judith Milgrom. Since opening her first store in 2004, Milgrom's collections have caught the attention of style-setters across the globe including Marion Cotillard and Vanessa Paradis. Created for a woman who is 'a lover of bohemian, feminine fashion', softly draped silk dresses and classic coverups in wool and leather will top every cool girl's wish list.

Launched by husband and wife duo Didier and Evelyne Chétrite in 1984, Sandro is the fashionista's go-to for feminine Parisian chic. Infused with inimitable Gallic cool, their Left Bank-inspired designs have gained a loyal following across the globe, with Brit-girl Alexa Chung dj-ing at their London opening in 2010. We love their graphic printed tees, hip urban shirt dresses and super sharp blazers

About WIT

First of all, I'm a stylist and Wearing It Today is a challenge. Styling models for a shoot is one thing but trying to look good in every day life is quite another. I have to work a lot harder. WIT is a little peek into a stylist’s wardrobe. It's the answer to a whole lot of: "Where's that from?" It's me putting in the groundwork and testing out trends for everyday life. But it is also an opportunity to share brilliant finds, styling tips, and search out inspiration that you can make your own. There will be good, there will be bad and there may even be ugly... Take what you like, and leave the rest behind.

THIS WEEK IN The ICONS Update

With the recent Milanese Dolce & Gabbana catwalk show seeing super models strutting down the catwalk with babies in their arms and Mother's Day soon approaching on March the 15th, it seemed like the perfect time to dedicate an issue to all mothers, and to give you a little inspiration on how to treat or be treated on this special day. If you have a growing bump, you might be interested in taking a look at Adriana Chryssicopoulos "Perfect Wardrobe" feature and hear more about her new venture NINE IN THE MIRROR, a website dedicated to shopping non-maternity clothes to fit pre and post bump. If you are searching for gift ideas, The Grace Tales editor Georgie Abay shares five brilliant finds, whilst we reveal our mother's survival kit in the form of sleep-substitute potions and stylish throw-on LBD's. VIVA LA MAMMA! x
